Description:

This cactacea, also known as the "owl's eye cactus". It has a stem that develops from globular to cylindrical shape, with a slightly depressed apex. Its stem is covered with conical tubercles, between which a light white down is formed, while at the apex its spines grow: white radial spines and brownish or black central ones, which are longer and more rigid. This species is known to develop dichotomous forms, as it is not uncommon for the stem to divide at the apex, forming two separate heads. Flowering occurs between spring and summer, blooming, at the apex of the stems, with a crown of creamy white flowers.

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.

The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
